Wasp and the Avengers

Janet Van Dyne hasn’t gotten her proper due as a founding Avenger, due to her absence from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s adptation of the team. Believe it or not The Wasp was a founder, named the team, and served as leader of the Avengers from Avengers #217 to Avengers #278.

The heralded Kurt Busiek and George Perez turn on Avengers (beginning in 1998 and barrelling into the new millenium) made room for Janet Van Dyne as the Wasp in a way Avengers comics hadn’t for some time.
